Later the figure was updated to ” around 80 cars”. ‘This is unprecedented in this area’ say the police to SVT..

TTELA’s photographer , Joachim Nywall stated to GP: ” While I was at the square I could see there was extensive damage to the school and the library – several windows were broken”.

According to the newspaper, there were car fires in Eriksbo, Frölunda, Gårdsten, Hjällbo, Tynnered and Trollhättan during Monday evening.

In Trollhattan the police were the target of stone throwing youths , amid riots and explosion heard around the area – GP writes.

The scenes resembled a war zone – with enormous plumes of smoke and areas filled with cars set on fire.

one wonders – Is this the result of a planned attack co-ordinated on social media as the police struggled to cope as law and order broke down on Monday evening.
